Are you trying to figure out what Halloween party theme ideas you might want to try this year? From classic movie monsters to Voodoo in the Bayou, we’ve found the best party ideas that you can DIY!

Any great Halloween party has to begin with a theme.

Are you looking for something scary? Gruesome? Funny? Nostalgic? Traditional? Or unique?

Things to consider when picking out Halloween party theme ideas.

  • Do you already have a lot of existing Halloween decor that fits a certain theme? It might be a great way to save money to use what you already have.
  • Think about your guest list. Do you need your theme to be kid-friendly, work appropriate, or is it about scaring your friends to their core?
  • Think outside the coffin. Not all Halloween parties have to be the same. You can use fun colors like teal or pink, have a pumpkin carving contest, or have a sophisticated Halloween dinner party.
